How to attach new sink to existing pipe?

IMG_1423.jpeg

Hello Bunnings Team,

 

I hope you’re doing well.

 

I have a quick question regarding adjusting the length of a sink pipe. After installing a new stone benchtop, I’ve noticed that the original pipe no longer fits, as the stone is approximately 2 cm higher than the original level.

 

I’m considering fixing it myself if it’s a straightforward task. Could you please advise me on which pipe parts I would need and what I should purchase?

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

 

Kind regards,

 

Andy.

Re: sink pipe 2cm lower.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Andy5. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about connecting a waste.

A plumber would likely cut the upright pipe and insert a joiner piece (either 40 or 50mm) glued into position, which would probably give enough height in itself to form the connection. If not, they'd cut a larger section out of the upright pipe and join in a new section with two joiners to increase the height.

 

Note that this is considered plumbing work, which requires a licensed plumber for the adjustment.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
